Community
Development Financing: We
lend money to new and existing businesses that bring
jobs, goods and services, or add to the commercial tax
base.

Administrative Services:
We have an outstanding administrative infrastructure,
and we consult with other businesses and non-profit
corporation to help them become more effective.

The Compact is
also charged with leading the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development-designated “Columbus Empowerment Zone”
(the “EZ”).

This 10-year federal designation, conferred in
1999 to our partner the City of Columbus, is designed to
focus community redevelopment strategies and resources, in
such a manner as to rebuild our city’s most distressed urban
neighborhoods, and make them places that people want to come
to live, work, and play.
